Questions Answered
QSR Frequently Asked Questions
Will linerless labels work with my existing POS system?
Linerless labels work with any POS system that supports thermal printing - Oracle MICROS, Toast, Square, Lightspeed, and others. The change is at the printer level, not the software. Your existing print templates will work without modification.
Are linerless labels food-safe for kitchen use?
Yes, our linerless labels are BPA-free and comply with EU food contact regulations. They're suitable for use in food prep environments and can be applied directly to food packaging. For specific compliance requirements, contact our team.
Do linerless labels help with Natasha's Law (PPDS)?
Yes. Natasha's Law requires PPDS foods to show full ingredients lists with allergens emphasised. Linerless printing cuts labels to the exact length needed, so one roll can handle short items and long ingredient lists without changing sizes.
How do linerless labels handle kitchen heat and moisture?
Our linerless labels use high-quality direct thermal paper that performs well in kitchen environments. For areas with extreme heat exposure (near fryers, ovens), consider our heat-resistant grade. Standard grades handle normal kitchen humidity without issue.
Can I print different label lengths from one roll?
Yes - this is one of the key advantages of linerless. From a single roll, you can print anything from a short day-dot label to a long delivery manifest. The printer cuts each label to the exact length needed, eliminating the need to stock multiple die-cut sizes.
What's the typical ROI for switching to linerless in QSR?
ROI varies by volume, but most QSR operators see payback within 3-6 months. Savings come from: 40% more labels per roll (fewer purchases), fewer roll changes (labour savings during service), eliminated liner disposal costs, and reduced storage requirements. Higher-volume locations see faster payback.
Do you offer samples for testing before purchase?
Yes, we provide free QSR sample packs including 58mm and 80mm rolls for testing with your specific printers and applications. This lets you verify compatibility and performance before committing to larger orders.
